A Remarkable Sentence.

The wife of Czar Alexis of Russia
Q645-l676) was frequently disturbed in
her sleep by the ringing of a bell in q
neighboring church steeple. This reused
the anger of the exalted lady to such a
pitch that the following decree was is
sued; "The tower in which the bell
hangs shall be pulled down, the bell to
be whipped with the knout and then
banished to Siberia for ever" This
Judgment was about to be put into exe-
cution when the Czarina died, and the
Cars niece interceded on behalf of the
unconscious offender, whereupon the
sentence was revised, and the convicted
bell was removed to a snbterranean
chamber and doomed to eternal silence.

How Hawks and Owls Eat.

Captain Tom Langston, who is ono
of Atlanta's most enthusiastic sports
men, says: "Did you ever notice Il hawk
or an owl preparing to make meal on
bird? The difference in th>r meth
ods is very great. A hawk will first
pick all the feathers off the bird and
then tear it to pieces as the bird is de-
voured. He goes ut it in very syste.
matte and dainty manner. Not so with
an owl. After killing the bird the owl
swallows it whole, feathers and all.
He then sits quietly, and in an hour or
so you will see the owl move his neck
about as if trying to untangle knot in
it. Then he will sort of hump up his
back, lower his head and the next mo-
ment ball of feathers will roll out Of
his mouth. The operation shows that
the owl divests the bird of its feathers
after swallowing it, while the hawk
plucks out every feather and quill before
he takes bite. ."-Atlanta Constitution.

Cheap Fuel and Light.

A series of tests has recently been
made by DR.. Fischer, the well-known
German chemist, showing that in ordi-
nary domestic stoves in use not more
than twenty per cent. of fuel consumed
is really utilized for warming the rooms.
whereas with stoves burning gas eighty
per cent. and more of the possible effect
Is obtained. In sugar manufactory
at Elsdorf, 1t Is stated, no steam engines
have been used for several years. Gas
is made at a cost of about twenty cents
per 1000 cubic feet, and is used for
lighting and driving gas engines. At
the Essen works, water gas is made at
a cost OF eight to sixteen cents per 1000
feet, and serves both for fire and light

a WARMING TO BASHFUL MEN.

He sat beside her near the stove,
a prey to bashfuness:
10 her he spoke no words OF love,
Nor sought her hand to press.
No maiden ever had been woocd
BY him; the fact was plain
For silently he sat and chewed
The knob upon his cane.
Sometimes he at the ceiling gazed.
Sometimes his glance would stray
To her. but when her eyes she raised,
He looked another way.
And thus they silent snt till she
Said: "John, ought to state
That pa and ma are out to tea
And won't return till late.
Now while they're absent, do not tease,
But pray remember this:
My hand you must not try to squeeze,
NOR steal from me q Kiss"
Az once the knob that grnccd his cane
John from his mouth withdrew.
And said: VI won't: don't think, Miss Jane
That I'd do that to you'll"
a deeper silence then cnsued
Than had prevailed before:
John vigorously his canes knob chewed,
A frown James visage wore.

And whom John rose to 90,
And asked II he might call agnin,

Simply this: that week ago-the very
night, in fact, that Major Brabazon stayed
at the Wheatsheaf-the London mail coach
was stopped on the borders of Hangman's
Heath by a single highwayman, and the
passengers robbed and the guard shot dead.
Highway robberies perpetrated by gentle
men Of the road were at that period of such
everyday occurrence that no one took much
notice of this particular robbery, and two
days afterward 1T was as good as forgotten
by the Plumperton folk But when, on the
sworn information of Timothy Trap,
London bagman, one of the passengers
robbed, o warrant was granted for the ap-
prehension of Major Brabazon, in conse-
quence Of which the Major had that very
mo rning been arrested just as he was leav.
ing his home to go and pay morning visit
to his lady-love, the fair Widow Thomson;
the bad news naturally fell like thunder
bolt on the town, and set every body wild
with excitement, as we'll it might, for there
was not a soul in tho place, and for miles
round rs well, who did not know and like
the Major and his white-faced mare. The
Major turn highwayman and rob tho mail,
Just as he was going to be married, too
Why, the idea was perfectly ridiculous.
AT the inquiry before the Justices, Jacob
Shrub, who was called on the prisoners be-
half, proved that he assisted the Major,
who was very far gone in liquor, to bed in
deed, he found him ON entering the sitting
room he and another gentleman had shared,
fast asleep, with his head In an empty
punch-bowl and half-squeezed lemon be-
tween his teeth. He never saw him again
until the next morning, when he break
tasted, paid his reckoning and rode OIL as
any other gentleman might. As for the
Major leaving the house In the dead of night
and getting in again without some OF the in
mates knowing Of 1t, why It twould be simply
impossible-at least In his humble opinion.

There seems to be good deal OF
misapprehensiOn as to the question in
volved in the forthcoming decision of
the United States supreme court in the
Kansas prohibition case. That court
has already decided in several cases
that state may prohibit the manu-
facture and sale of liquor by consti-
tutional amendment. But in none of
these cases was the question raised
whether property in existence prop
erty, for example. in liquors, distilleries,
breweries, etc.-may be thus destroyed,
without compensation to the owner.
This is the pivotal issue in the Kansas
case. The United States court in that
state held that the law was held in
violation of the fourteenth amendment,
for the reason that it deprived persons
of their property without due process
of law. 1t may be doubted whether
the supreme court will sustain this
view. If it does it will give a new
meaning to the fourteenth amendment,
and one of far reaching consequences

Who is the editor? What is the edi-
tor? He is the pale, unknown, honest
and tireless benefactor of the universe.
He is a man with whom duns and
cockroaches are upon terms of undue
familiarity; of few joys and many sor-
rows; the abhorred of the criminal
and pretender, the abused of printers,
the tool of the dead beat, the unappre-
ciated primal support of social and re-
ligious law, the hated of charlatans,
the beloved of God and himself. All
of him that is dead has a balcony box
and ''set supper in heaven; all OF
him that is left is hustling for his daily
bread and praying for release.-San

she has grown more rapidly than any

A novel suit has been begun by the
state of Indiana against the state of
Kentucky for the soveringty over a
little island in the Ohio river, at the
mouth of Green river. The southern
boundary of Indiana extends to the low
water mark in the Ohio river, Ken
lucky owning the channel; and this
island, which is only such in high
water, has been considered as belong
ing to the latter state, although for the
last twenty years during ordinary low
water it has been connected with the
Indiana shore. Indiana will probably
gain the suit and own the island until
the channel changes.-Ex.

vessels. He also recommends the

nations He does not tell us what is
to prevent other nations from increas-

bank account. The second year he

well improved farm and fat stock, and
talks about bonds and local politics as
he smokes his pipe and sips his coffee
in frst-class restaurants. Then there
are not influences enough in the east
to draw him back. He goes to church

his wearing broadcloth or backing his
boots. He is every inch of man

1t is announced that an Irish home
rule bill has been formulated by certain
Tory statesmen who will soon present
it to the British Cabinet for consider
alton. 1t may be that the policy which
dictated the Disraeli reform bill in
1867 is about to be repeated. In that
instance Disraeli, after acceding to
popular sentiment, gave the people sub
stantially the same bill he had been re-
sisting and Mr.. Gladstone and other
Liberals had been striving for. More
than once Mr.. Gladstone has had his
thunder thus stolen, aud it is possible,
but not probable, that he may be about
to undergo the experience again. In
such case there will be none the less a

Thurman on the Surplus.

From Judge Thurman's great speech
which is full of thought for all men to
read and study at this time, we extract
his brief but comprehensive mention of
the surplus question. Referring to
it and the prominence that it now has
in political discussion, he said
"If l were not so tired l would like
to say something about the surplus
revenue. Do you know they are piling
up at the rate of 500, 900, 900 year in
the treasury of the United States
money that is collected for which the
government has no use? Why, if the
thing amt stopped, after awhile nearly
all the money will be in the treasury of
the United States under lock and key,
and l don't know but you would have
to go back to trading coon skins in
order to get your daily bread. Laugh
ter.)
"Why, it is monstrous it is simply
monstrous. have said that everybody
is bound to contribute to the support of
the government, but it is monstrous to
tax him 500, 100000 year in order to
get money and lay it up in the treasury
which the government doesn't need at
all, which the government can't make
any honest use of and there never
was anything in the world more cor
rupting than this accumulation of sur
plus money in that way. 1t leads to
al. manner OF corrupt schemes of plum
der in Congress, and if they go on much
longer there will be no such thing as an
honest tax bill or an honest appropria-
ton bill that will pass that body"
